Jiyang Xu (徐继扬) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 49.17, set at China Championship 2018, puts him in the top 4.8% of the 34,786 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 106th in China. Until October 2010, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since August 2015, he has put 363 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 98% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.01 in August 2015 to 10.40, a 31% improvement. Jiyang has entered 17 competitions, more competitions than 96% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
